Ugly and obese people may stink up places if they don't shower after 8hrs.

Ugly people have a greater tendency to stink than normal/attractive people? Is there a physiological basis for this?

Either way... it explains a lot about me. My crotch starts stinking around lunch time. I always smell it, and I pray no one else can. I figure it's because of the fairly tight dress pants that I wear to work cramping my junk all day.

I would guess that what you eat plays a large role in how you smell, so our ancestors probably smelled quite a bit different. They probably didn't mind the smell though. Do you think dogs care that other dogs smell like dog?

For me probably 3 days. I am not a smelly person. When it is cold outside (20's or 30's) I could go for a hard 10 mile run and you would not know it afterward. It is cold enough that I don't sweat much, and therefore I don't smell.

They probably see you and your tight pants and stay out of smelling range.

Agreed

I can go a week easy without showering, even when running, except in the height of summer. I don't smell but I start feeling crusty from dried sweat. I Never wear deodorant either. And it isn't just me not noticing myself. I have asked multiple close friends to speak honestly about if I smell and they all have said there is no issue. They are then shocked to learn that at the moment I am asking them I have not showered in 8 days and have had the same stick of deodorant for at least 6 years.
